The DOM level 1 specification contains a HTMLTextAreaElement interface representing a TEXTAREA element in HTML. HTMLTextAreaElement has a "value" attribute of type DOMString; according to the specification, this attribute represents "the current textual content of the multi-line text field". So, if the text field has several lines, what character or characters are used to separate the lines in the "value" attribute? A \n? A \r\n? Either? The specification should be more clear on this point.
